    as you mention error handling I get the feeling that you are lagging
    behind in version, did you update recently? This summer we have made
    available a whole new WCPS parser, and have proudly announced it on
    the list.<br>

                              I have been monitoring and participating
                              in the Rasdaman Community developer and
                              user email lists for over four years. I
                              plan to continue to participate within the
                              community.<br>
                              <br>
                              It has been pleasing to see how the
                              community has evolved over this time to
                              develop effective, open and robust
                              processes.
                              <br>
                              <br>
                              I recommend to other FOSS4G communities to
                              review what has been done, as you may well
                              find that Rasdaman offers a compelling
                              solution for the management of
                              multi-dimensional array or gridded data
                              that your project may be able to
